Wikipedia article




'Nachtrit' (English 'Night Run' or 'Night Ride') is a 2006 Netherlands thriller film about the tribulations of an Amsterdam taxi-driver, played by Frank Lammers. The context is a vicious taxi war that was waged between two competing taxi companies in the city around 2000. We follow Dennis's daily life as he struggles to keep himself and his family afloat in an environment of treachery and ruthless savagery. The harder he fights, the deeper he gets into trouble, and the fewer options remain to him.
